My fiance and I stayed there December 2011 and were very pleased with the place. The food was great, rooms were very good, clean, the staff was very helpful, room service was good too. The specialty restaurants were nice as well. Some of the reviews mentioned about a funny smell in the rooms caused by the ocean- we did not... More

A friend and I stayed for a week over mother's day at the Riu Palace Las Americas and I have to say it was AMAZING!! The Brazilian restaurant was outstanding, even the buffet's for lunch and breakfast were wonderful. Service was great, people were friendly and the location was perfect for going out to do a bit of shopping, always... More

All the staff involved in our big day where very helpful and respectful of our wishes, however when in the salon it was difficult to communicate with the hairdressers as... More

My husband and I spent a week in May at this place and did not want to go home. Do not listen to the bad reviews. You have to be a real pain in the ... person not to be satisfied. The hotel and the rooms are super squeaky clean. The staff is doing an amazing job to keep the... More

My husband and I just returned from a 5 night stay at the RIU Palace Las Americas. The hotel itself is meant to be reminiscent of an older time period...lots of ornamental wood and mouldings inside and white stone and statues outside... it's not meant to be modern and sleek as some may complain about the decor being "outdated." I... More

Let me tell you the good things first, the hotel was very clean. If the staff spent half as much time on customer service and food as they did on cleaning, the trip would not have been so awful. Customer service was not a priority at this hotel. The staff was rude and unhelpful; when you asked a question or... More

We stayed at the Riu from 5/12-5/17 and had a blast! Best Riu by far! Everything was great from the food to the staff!! Never have encountered such a wonderful staff that truly is there to serve your 110%!!! Never waited more than 2 minutes for a new drink and dirty plates never sat in front of us for more... More
